Give us the road rather than the rail

Residents of Tigard, OR suggested in a poll by the Tigard News that they would rather widen 99W from 5 to 7 lanes than build parallel light rail, and they don’t really want growth via density. They want new developments.

I foresee a dustup.

The comments, as always, are interesting.

You can see some coverage here and here (highly recommended for planning students on how to evaluate street amenities) and a foodie guide for places to eat.

You can ride it free today! Zooooooom!
